Bible: Isaiah 5:21-23; 56:9-12

5:21 Those who think they are wise are as good as dead, 1 

those who think they possess understanding. 2 

5:22 Those who are champions 3  at drinking wine are as good as dead, 4 

who display great courage when mixing strong drinks.

5:23 They pronounce the guilty innocent for a payoff,

they ignore the just cause of the innocent. 5 

1:9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place 1  and let dry ground appear.” 2  It was so. 1:10 God called the dry ground “land 3  and the gathered waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good.

1:11 God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: 4  plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, 5  and 6  trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” It was so. 1:12 The land produced vegetation – plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. God saw that it was good.
